1:00 pm: The Blind Telephone Network (dial-in)


May 28

Announcing the Blind Telephone Network 2024 program

The Blind Telephone network, originally founded by blind veterans, now is pleased to welcome all blind and low vision folks to join in phone calls will be held on Tuesday and Thursday of each week.

Tuesdays programs are what we call chit chat and chew the fat. During these sessions, most topics are acceptable; however, we refrain from discussing politics and religion. Prayer requests are acceptable, but will not be done during the call. This is a time for socializing, and sharing our experiences with blindness, in order to help others develop independence and self-confidence.

On Thursdays, we emphasize education, travel, technology, history, entertainment, and innovative role-models, etc.. These sessions will feature presenters on such topics as: Lewis and Clark expedition, Mt. Rushmore, railroad history and the mob museum in Las Vegas, Nevada.We encourage suggestions for topics or locations from our participants.

All sessions last for one (1) hour and start on time.

The call in number is: 605-475-5620, and the access code is: 3789127#. If you plan to save these numbers in your contacts, I recommend inserting two (2) commas between the main number and the access code.

Those wishing to receive an e-mail reminder for upcoming sessions or links provided by the presenter, should:

Send an e-mail to Doc Eudaly at deteacha@sbcglobal.net. Please put your full name, phone number, and email address in the body of your e-mail.

Calls for 2024 will begin on Tuesday, January 9.

For Thursday, January 11, our initial program will be on the FDR Memorial in Washington, DC.  We hope to hear you on these free telephone calls, where you can both learn and contribute

On behalf of the founding members,

7:15 pm: Towards Opulence, the Opera: Haptic Tour and Audio Description (in-person)


May 31

Featuring Skywatchers, Towards Opulence, the Opera is part of an ongoing act of creative resistance and imaginative reclamation. By Dance Mission Theater
3316 24th Street San Francisco

Created by Skywatchers and featuring Choral Director Melanie DeMore with Jennifer Johns, Valerie Troutt, Inéz García de Arco, Chibueze Crouch, Peekaboo, Maya Nixon, Jennifer Johnson, Afatasi and Dilpreet Anand

Tickets: $20-$100 sliding scale - Pay what you can / Pay what you will

No one turned away for lack of funds at the door. Online sales end two hours prior to curtain. The box office opens one hour prior to curtain for at-door sales and to pick up Will Call tickets.

Towards Opulence, the Opera is part of an ongoing act of creative resistance and imaginative reclamation. Skywatchers believe that Tenderloin residents, and other marginalized people, are the truth tellers of our society, akin to the mythical Cassandras. By breathing life into often overlooked or discredited truths, we remember our interdependence and expose the roots of power and oppression. An act of bold reclamation, Towards Opulence invites us to conjure and claim our most audacious and glorious selves and step into a future where we truly belong to each other.

Buy tickets for Towards Opulence. There are no refunds.

Accessible Performance Details:

For blind and visually impaired audience members, Skywatchers partners with Gravity Access Services to offer live audio description and a haptic access tour for the performance on Friday, May 31 at 8:00 pm. Haptic access tour begins at 7:15pm. Audio description provided by Rachael Dichter.

Reserve a spot for the Haptic Access Tour online or by calling: 781 820-7712.
